The Cancer Research Foundation is a 501(c)3, tax-exempt, public charity. The purpose of the Cancer Research Foundation is to raise awareness of the importance of cancer research, the need for additional cancer research funding, and the various ways that you can make a difference. We understand that cancer touches the lives of almost everyone (1 out of 3 individuals is touched by cancer) and we realize that we are not alone in our desire to find a cure; we would like to thank you in advance for your dedication, insight, and (often creative) financial support of cancer research.
